The Other Side

Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 :

Hello :D. I hope you enjoy this new update. 

It felt as if  I had woken up after a long slumber. My body felt awaken after a long time. The feeling was so unreal. This was like being back from dead. I couldn't feel myself anymore. I felt far away from a human. My eyes opened up unhurriedly, and soon took in the scene before them. 

Mist

A very misty place. Ghostly misty place. Last thing I could remember was me being dead. So shouldn't I wake up in heaven or hell ? Or maybe a white place ? How did I end up here in this ... forest ? Well there are trees.. I never knew because I am non-living and trees are living so how the hell they are here right now. I have never been this confused in my entire life. 

Now that I see this place, I see  a thick blanket of swirling mist snaking in and out of the trees trunks and connecting them like a maze. It was so thick that it couldn't be seen through at any distance no matter how close but resembled a mass of steam that clung to the very air. A shrouded white glow drifted at the feet of the ancient trees, branches stretching as if to save themselves from drowning in this sea of mist. 

I had never seen a place like this let alone be here. I took a look at myself. A benoit blue button down shirt, black skinny jeans, and some vans. But what really grabbed my attention was that these were almost transparent. Not only my clothes, but my whole self. You could almost see through me. I felt really light weight. This felt so abnormal. 

I guess this solved my every mystery ? What really happens after death. You feel like some creepy voodoo shit. No heaven, no hell. All myths were untrue. 

As I continue to observe my surroundings, I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder. Terrified, I turn around and see a person. 

A PERSON ! 

Her hair was a rich shade of golden. It flowed in waves to adorn her glowing, porcelain-like, milky white skin. Her eyes, framed by long lashes, were a dazzling chocolate brown color and seemed to brighten the world. A straight nose, full kissable cherry lips - she seemed the picture of perfection. Had she smiled, the world would sigh with contentment. Had she laughed, the world would laugh with her. And had she wept, the whole world would want to comfort her. 

She was wearing a white dress which came till her knees with a gold braided belt  

And that's when I saw that I could look through her too. I could see the mist through her. She was exactly like me. I then used this opportunity to get to know about this situation more better. 

"Where am I ?" I asked with hesitence. My voice was raspy and cracked a bit. Probably because I spoke after a long time. 

"The other side..." I heard her sweet angelic voice.She trailed off as if she didn't want to scare me with more details. 

"The other side of earth ?" I asked with my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Maybe I am okay ? Maybe this is some rare place on earth and I am alive. Okay, even I know that's not true.

"The other side of ... death" She finally said as she confirmed my thoughts which were going through my mind earlier. She grinned at me and I couldn't really figure out anything. 

"D-death ?" I asked, not really catching a word she said. I was surely lost and a bit horrified. 

"Death." She confirmed. 

"This..I..Oh my god..You" I couldn't speak out anything. My throat was dry and I was at loss of words. 

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it" She said politely, trying to comfort me.
